THE DEATHOF A
PIONEER CITIZEN

Strathmore lost an old time resident
last Sunday in the death of John
Cleeve, 75 years of age. Mr Cleeve
had been in failing health for the last
few years, and about ten days before
his death he had a stroke which prov-
ed too much for his strength.

Born in Chatham, Ontario, Mr
Cleeve operated a draying business
in Strathmore after coming west 31
years ago.

Surviving are two daughters, Mrs
K. Blackwell, Calgary, Mrs J. G. Rob-
ison, Strathmore; four sons, Dick and
Roy in Calgary, George at Medicine
Hat, and Ross, R.C.A.M.C., Calgary,
four brothers and one sister as well
as four grandchildren. His wife pre-
deceased him about 18 years ago.

Funeral services were conducted at
the United Church, Wednesday, at 2
p.m., Rev. S. R. Hunt officiating. Bur-
ial was in Strathmore cemetery.

Pall Bearers were Messrs. Jack
Taylor, Jr., Jas. Swanson, Sandy
Smith, Ben Fessenden, Jas. Gunn and
M. B. Garrett.

Funeral arrangements were in
charge of Shaver, McInnis & Hollo-

Owing to a stormy night, the Bingo
Party a week ago commanded a rath-
er smaller crowd than was hoped for,
though a wery successful evening was
enjoyed nevertheless. Net proceeds
amounted to twenty-five dollars, all of
which was turned over to the Red
Cross. There were a large number of
prizes, many of which were pieces of
fancywork donated by Miss Satchwell

NEWS FROM 0'SEAS

NX11145, G. J. SUGDEN,
4th Battn, A. I. F. ABROAD,
6th May 1941.

Dear Dad,

Will have to send this not by sur-
face mail as I have not any air mail
stamps and we cannot get any here.
It may be some time before you re-
ceive it but as I sent a note to Madge
a couple of days ago and asked her
to get in touch with you immediately
she received it, most of the news wil:
be covered by her letter.

Well we have been to and left
Greece and although it is quite a nice
country, under the circumstances we
were very pleased to get away. Where
we are situated now is fairly safe but
things may alter at any minute and
we could quite easily be in among
things at any time of the day or night.
So far we have only been getting a
number of air warnings each day and
occasionally see enemy planes. but
they keep too high to bother us.

After leaving Palestine we travelled
by train to Egypt and joined the Bat-
talion. A very interesting trip through
as we passed a lot of the Nile Valley
and saw many thousand of acres of
their irrigation scheme. All very prim-
itive but most efficient and every-
where were very dense and healthy
crops. They still use the old_ single
furrow wood plough drawn by camel,
donkey, mule or oxen and in quite a
number of cases you would see a don-
key and ox harnessed together or any
combination of the above. Went
through Alexandria which jis a very
large and modern city and of course

Junior Calf Club Formed
@

As a result of a recent meeting in
Orange Valley School in the interests
of a junior calf club—

The following executive was set up
following a motion to form a club and
call it the Strathmore District Junior
Beef Feeding Calf Club.

President, Don Sarsons; Vice-Presi-
dent, Manuel Schmitke; Secretary-
Treasurer, Jack Groves.

Adult Committee— Art Hay, Senior
supervisor; Leonard Hilton; Wm.
Fawkes; D. J. McKinnon, M. L. A. and
Harry Groves, Jr.

Some 24 calves are now on feed ov-
er an area from Carseland, Namaka,
East, North and West of Strathmore.
This feeding program will continue un-
til about June 1st by which time the
calves will be in condition for sale.

A detailed schedule for feeding may
be obtained from the Department..

of January. Evening meetings will be
held in Namaka, Carseland and Strath-
more and perhaps in some of the one-
room schools. Speakers, programmes
and dates will be announced soon. It
{s hoped that many parents and others
nterested will be sure to be present
at, at least one of these meetings.

at the present time a very important
and busy place. If we ever get back
to Egypt I would like to have a cou
ple of days leave there as the ads
who have visited it all speak very
well of the place. Well, to get on with
the journey, we eventuaily joined the
Unit and next morning left camp for
the boat. We did not pull out _ that
night which gave us an opportunity to
see a display of the searchlights spot-
ting planes. They are certainly quick
in locating their object and once on to
it there is no chance of them getting
away again. Well we pushed out and
had a very calm and uneventful voy:
age and after a couple of days arriv-
ed in Greece. Our camp ihere was
among olive trees, green grass under
foot and beautiful shady trees above
perfect cover from air observation
and very close to Athens. We would
not have minded staying there for a
long period but after a couple of days
were moved off again. However be
fore moving they paid us 5000 dracs
(1 pound) per man and gave a days
leave to Athens. I arrived there about
11 a.m, and seeing a Cafe with a not
{ce “English spoken” decided to go in
and get some bearings. Had a couple
of bottles of beer costing about 11d.
per bottle. Very good beer too and
much the same as our own lager but
a little more bitter. Our next move
was for a haircut, boot shine and hot
bath. The bath cost 5d and I spent ab-
out half an hour just soaking. After
this we returned to our Cafe and
lunched. As meat is rationed we could
not procure any and so had to try
some of their vegetable dishes. Very
filling but not much body. The Man-
ager of the Cafe secured us a_ taxi
which cost 5d each. I think, for a two
hour tour of the town. We saw all the
ancient ruins some of which dated
back to 400 B. C. but as our driver
could not speak English and persisted
in telling us all about things in Greek
we finished the day with a very hazy
idea as to what we had seen, On our
way back and after much demonstrat
ing we managed to get him to take us
to a Church and a very wonderful
place it was too. The whole of the
interior was beautifully decorated
with most costly images and paint-
ings, etc. As there was a service in
progress we did not have the opport-
unity of a thorough inspection but
what we did see was most impressive.
Athens is a very modern and up to
date City and except for the language
one could quite easily have thought
you were back in Australia. The men
and women were very smartly dres
sed and we saw many beautiful lasses
but also our lingo handicapped us and
so we could only look and admire
from a distance. Goods are very cheap
but of course these items were of no
interest to us except from a point of
curosity. After tea we spent an hour
in a place where they had a floor
show. No charge to go in but drinks
cost at least double and in many in-
stances three and four times as much
as the ruling price. However they put
On some very good turns and as all
the lasses spoke English we could at

least have a yarn to them. There

of the Army, Navy and Air Force and
so our tales were very short. Had to
be in camp by 10.30 p.m. and _ so left

early. Next day we were all entrained
for a destination inland which turned
out to be the town of Larissa. First
appearances were not encouraging as
the place looked, as if it had been
severely bombed and we thought we
may be in for a hot time of it, It turn-
ed out that there had been an earth-
quake there early in March and the
quake certainly made a good job of
things. We spent a few days there on
traffic and piquet work in which time
I had my first job as traffic cop on
point duty. As all the convoys were
moving up to the first line of defence,
traffic was very thick and we were
kept fairly busy. Had several minor
auakes while we were there but no
damage. The locals inland are a very
different type to what we had in Ath-
ens and were very poor and mainly
dressed in home spuns. Well we ev-
entually received word to move and
next morning found ourselves a few
miles from the Greek border and were
told that the German army was only
about 30 miles away and our Company
were to be his reception committee
and would be the first he wou'd ¢on-
tact upon arrival. We spent all that
day digging in and were quite pleased
to be active as things were bitterly
cold. We were about six days in this
Position and mostly wet through and
covered in mud all the time. To add to
our discomfort it snowed for two
nights and all one day and as our
blankets were wet and holes full of
mud the stay was not exactly a holi-
day. Well Jerry decided he would
have a look-see the first night he
came up and sent two tanks forward.
We could not se them but followed
their course by the din they kicked up
until sueh time as they struck a cou-
ple of our anti tank mines then bang,

@ “Comrades of Russian Army

and People”’—

The British people are “comrades
of the Russian army and people,” de-
clared the Archbishop of Canterbury
recently, adding that “There are some
feature of Communism compatible
with Christianity. But that could not
be said of Nazism.”

@ Less than two years ago a lot of
people thought that air enthusiasts
were crazy when they started talking
about the need of an airway from
Edmonton and Alaska, with fields and
equipment making it possible for Am-
erican planes to get through Alberta
to Alaska readily in case of attack.
How glad we are now to have that
airline, even though it is not wholly
completed.

longer, but the end will be certain and
sure—the complete destruction of the

and barley for seed for next year’s
crop” owing to a lighter than normal
crop of these products in Alberta
this year, was reported by C. Aubrey

HEN little Junior comes to you,
And climbs upon your knee,
And looks right up into your eyes,

As earnest as can be;
With littie lips a-quiver,
And heart that seems to pause,
de says, “Now tell me, Daddy,
Ain't there no Santa Claus?”
Then you just start a-talking,
Be sure to make it stick,
And say, “There is a Santa Caus;
Sometimes he’s called St. Nick.”
And say “If there’s no Santa Claus
How on earth would little boys
Get stockings filled with candy,

And lots of pretty toys?
And how would little sister

Get dolls and other things,
If it were not for Santa Claus

That Christmas always brings?
He’s really with us always,

Though he’s trampled in life’s race:
At Christmas time he pops up,

And assumes his proper place.

It is war against an enemy as ruth

Weapons For New War—

Weapons in this gigantic
will not be guns, planes, tanks and
bombs. They will consist of vigilance,
self-abnegation, compromise and the
Golden Rule.

We have just come from General
Headquarters where we heard the
General Staff map out the plan of cam-
paign in a masterly way, a plan for
which no blue-print existed, an _ at-
tack over a No Man’s Land hitherto
untrod.

The Commanders are resolute in
their determination that the plan will
succeed, not just for a sortie but for
attainment of the final objective. It
must succeed, they aver, or we are
licked in more ways. than one.

Every last Canadian fs being re-
cruited for this fight-to-a-finish.
There will be no uniforms, no brass
band, in tinsel or glamouur in this bat-
tle. Just a niche in’ the _ civilian
army that is pointing to win the
greatest battle on the home-front.

The enemy is no phantom, but a real
and potent figure. He may be easily
dsicerned in the rising price of nearly
every commodity being sold inCanada,
which, until Ottawa took a hand
! threatened to get completely out of
| control, as seen in the 16 percent in-
| crease in cost of living since the war
| against Hitlerism began.

The declaration of war establishes
an absolute ceiling on prices of all
kinds, with a very few exceptions, as
they existed during the basic period,
September 15th to October 11th, 1941.
The exceptions are for inevitable sea-
sonal fluctuations as in the case of
fruits and vegetables.

It is a battle which can be won,
which must be won and which will be
won if each accepts a front-line pos-
ition in the fight. ‘The price ceiling
must be maintained” is the order of
the day from Headquarters. The peo-
ple’s army alone can assure that it
will be. .

hundreds of Germans approaching us

back from this position. A shell land-

command is the best way to handle
Western defences by the two coun-
tries, we have an agreement with our
neighbors for the shifting of forces
‘from one side of the border to the
other whenever needed.

The East coast south of Labrador
and the west coast south of Alaska
have been given as the regions hav:
ing the greatest hazard of attack by
raiding aircraft. Next come Eastern
Quebec and the valley of the St. Law-
rence, The danger cf air attack in On-
tario is “slight”. The primary objects
0° air attacks if they materialize will
undoubtedly be to attempt to spread
panic. As president Roosevelt said
that is part of the Japanese strategy.
Canadians are not likely to be thrown
off our main objectives in this war
even temporarily by sporadic air at-
tacks. The air raid precaution meas-
ures throughout Canada are variable

pointed wardens have had the benefit.
of experiences of men who have been
in Britain and have watched British
measures in operation.

It is probable that the entry of the
United States into war will mean that
temporar’’- there will be some restric-
tion in te flow of essential materials
for war production across the border.
That would seem unavoidable. The
order from the munitions department
halting the sale of rubber tires ex-
cept on new machines indicates what
the war in the China seus means to
the importation of rubber produced in
Malaya. The attacks of the Japanese
on the Peninsula of Malaya has the
double aim of capturing the strategic
base at Singapore and taking over
the rubber plantations. There may also
be a reduction in the import of jute
and certain vegetable oils but jute
will continue to come from India. The
administrators of lease lend aid to
Britain have assured the British gov-
ernment that this will continue to
flow but the tremendous speeding up
of war production in the United
States will necessarily cause some
dislocation in exports to Canada as
well as to Britain. Churchill saw the |
decline in the volume of Atlantic'
shipments as unavoidable for a time.

The needs of the steel industry pre-
sents ,perhaps, the greatest problem.
It will however be a matter of high
strategy of the allied nations to de-
cide where and how the production of
war industries in the various coun-
tries is to be distributed, for Britain
and Russia are both fighting the bat-

whether future loans may be parti-

of the spread of war on the mobiliza-

country. That is one of the greatest
questions of the hour.

During the Napoleonic Wars Brit-

ish farmers enjoyed high prices for
their products and made quite a lot
of money. The records reveal that in
general farmers spent this money in
expanding their holdings, in erecting
more elaborate buildings and in liv-
ing at a higher standard; many farm-
ers even went into debt. The Scottish
farmers, however, so the records tell
us, spent their extra profits first in
paying off their debts, then in drain-
ing and in manuring their land and

There will no doubt, therefore, be a
